Xfdf file problem

Hello! I have Adobe Reader version 11.0.3 and Windows 7 operating system. I am trying to open an Acrobat file with the ".xfdf" file extension. The problem is, when i try to open the file nothing happens. It should open up a secure webpage as a pdf file and auto fill the forms. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Reader, changing default browsers, and messing with the settings within Adobe reader. My question is, does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? I tried working with our IT department but they couldn't figure it out. I appreciate all the help i can get. Thank you.

I answered my own question! I deleted the following from my
xfdf file:
<ids original="7A0631678ED475F0898815F0A818CFA1"
modified="BEF7724317B311718E8675B677EF9B4E"/>
and it works fine.

Is it possible to export data from a PDF in Reader XI into an xfdf file?

Hello,
I am new to the forum and to Adobe Acrobat. Please bear with me as I explain what I need to do and what I have tried to do so far to accomplish this (based on reading numerous forum discussions and Adobe IAC/JavaScript manuals).
Operating system, Adobe and Microsoft products on my standalone PC:
     OS: Windows 7 Professional
     Adobe: Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
                   IAC Software (free download)
                   Adobe Reader XI
    Microsoft: VisualStudio 2010 (VB.NET and C#.NET)
I need to export the data from a fillable PDF in Acrobat Reader XI into an .xfdf file that will allow me to pull the field data out of the .xfdf (xml-type) file and use it in a C# program. I tried using exportXFDF as a trusted function not knowing initially that Acrobat Reader XI will allow you to import, but not export. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Using the IAC I was able to write a program that allowed my to save the data in a fillable PDF in Acrobat to an xml-type file; however, that only worked when my executable was running on a PC that had Acrobat installed (not Acrobat Reader). I need to be able to do this out of Acrobat Reader XI, and we do not want to use Adobe LiveCycle to do this.
I feel like there is something very obvious that I am missing here.

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

Required code snippet fo XFDF file creation

Hi All,
can somebody let me know how can i create an XFDF file in Web Dynpro/Java code.
I Mean i have data in my context in web dynpro application
i want to create one xfdf file that contains the data of context.
can somebody send me code example for this.
Any useful reply surely be rewarded with points.
kindly reply ASAP.
Regards,
Amit.

I had the same problem.
The problem lies with the MakeWinPEMedia.cmd
After the script partitions and reformats the flash drive, the disk appears offline for about 10 seconds (can be verified if you have Explorer open). This for some reason messes up XCOPY in the way the command is written.
SOLUTION:
Open MakeWinPEMedia.cmd using notepad (notepad "C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\MakeWinPEMedia.cmd")
REPLACE:
xcopy /herky "%WORKINGDIR%\%TEMPL%" "%DEST%\" >NUL
WITH
xcopy /herky "%WORKINGDIR%\%TEMPL%\*.*" "%DEST%\*.*" >NUL
notice the \*.* at two places, thats what somehow makes XCOPY wait for the disk to be ready and then copies the files.

Opening XFDF files on iPad with Safari

We are trying to open up Adobe XFDF files on iPad via Safari and keep getting told that 'Safari cannot download this file.'.
It feels like a file association problem in this environment but not for sure.
We can open the referenced PDF files just fine and Windows (using IE & Safari) works just fine when viewing the XFDF files (we get the associated PDF populated with data specified in the XFDF).
Is there anything we can do to fix this or are we at the mercy of Apple & Adobe working together to fix this 'problem'?
Thanks,
Mike

Bump -
We have tested this with iOS 7 and it still does not work ....
Any insight would be nice .....

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

With conversion to Leopard, file problems with networked Windows computer

Last night I did an Archive & Install from Tiger to Leopard on my Intel MacBook Pro. Today, I had trouble finding the other computers at my office. Once I finally got them to show up, I opened a Word file found on another computer, made some changes, and when I tried to save it, I got this message: "This is not a valid file name. Try one or more of the following: *Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. *Select a file from the list of files and folders." Since this file already existed and I wasn't changing the name, I thought this was odd, but I changed the name from "Seating Chart 3-8-08" to "SeatingChart3-8-08" in case Leopard didn't like spaces when talking to Windows, but I got the same error message. Finally I gave up, not knowing what to do, then discovered that it had in fact saved my file. Still, every time I try to save ANY Word document from the shared folder of the Windows computer, I get the same error message endlessly until I choose "Don't Save."
When I try to open an Excel file from that computer, it won't even open; it says " 'File Name.xls' cannot be accessed. This file may be Read-Only, or you may be trying to access a Read-Only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding." As with the Word file problem above, I did not have any problem accessing the files until I converted to Leopard.
The Windows machine is Windows XP using Microsoft Office 2003; I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my machine.

This Link (Acrobat Help | Importing and exporting comments ) seems relevant to your query. Please let me know if it helps you export comments to xfdf file.

Did something change in Adobe Reader X with xfdf files?

Has something changed with Reader X and how to print .xfdf files? For several previous versions my program would use reader to print pdf forms with data filled in via .xfdf files. Once someone updates to ReaderX then the pdf's print but no data is filled in from the .xfdf files.
So did something change with ReaderX or what it expects in xfdf file?
Thank you,
Steve

Sorry, I cannot find any non-sensitive file for the moment. I will get into trouble if I upload any of them.
And you're correct: I can't find those strings when I open it in a hex editor. Is there any utility to let me remove some texts without changing file headers and other properties?
For all my invoice files, they are all generated by the same company. It's "Free Telecom", an ISP and mobile phone company in France. But not all invoice files have this issue. This issue only happens recently, and only happens to invoice generated for ISP, but not for mobile phone.
Here are some more technical info:
If I open the files in PDF-XChange Viewer, I can view some properties.
I have
PDF Producer: PDF::API2 0.73 [linux]
The following image shows some remaining properties which are too much to type:
Hope this helps

Anyone know if the long standing duplicate files problem with File History has been fixed yet?

There are loads of public threads about the duplicate files problem
with Windows 8/8.1 File History backup system.
From all the threads I've looked at, there seems to be no solution,
and no acknowledgement from MS that they can even repro the problem
(which surprises me considerably as there are so many people who
notice the problem).
Is anyone aware of whether MS (may) have fixed this for Win10?
Are MS aware of the problem and if they're able to fix it?
Dave - with many GB of duplicated files in File History :)

Hmm, is that the attitude MS would recommend? :)
Why would I care what Microsoft would recommend?
Clearly you don't, and you appear to have missed my smiley. Calm down
Noel, many of us are as annoyed by aspects of modern Windows as you
are. :)
I'm all about making Windows actually WORK/./
Aren't we all? Windows is software I use too many hours every day, I
along with many millions of others need it to work really well. You
are not alone.
When they implement something that doesn't work, and even if it did work doesn't do what's needed - and/beyond that/ they remove features people DO need (such as the GUI for Windows Backup), I see no wrong in advising people of the way things
really are.
File History essentially does work - it's saved me a couple of times
in the past couple of weeks. It just has a highly annoying habit of
creating 100% duplicates of some files for no apparent reason. If MS
have fixed that I won't have any known complaints about it.
If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I generally like it, I
just want to see that its fixed.

TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh). First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there. Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

Interesting response, Kappy - Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook). Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
     1) I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference? Why the different toatl count?
     2) Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. What's in those files? And where are they?
Probably more important questions get down to:
     3) Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"? This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle. Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
     4) And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
Thanks again for your interest and comments. - Russ-AZ

RMI class file problem

I have already write a RMI example for self-study successfully, but there are a little class file problem that I'm not able fix it.
In my RMI example there are 3 .java files (RMIServer.java, RMIClient.java and a MethodImpl.java)
After I have javac and rmic them, I got RMIServer_Skel.class, RMIServer_Stub.class, RMIClient.class and the MethodImpl.class
In order to run the RMI in a local envirnment, I divide them into 2 folders as listed below:
Server - RMIServer_Skel.class, RMIServer_Stub.class and the MethodImpl.class
Client - RMIServer_Stub.class, RMIClient.class and the MethodImpl.class
Then when I start to run them in a DOC envirnment...
start rmiregistry........(run successful and another rmiregistry DOC window created)
java RMIServer.........Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: RMIServer
Oops? Class not found? How can that be? And after that, I tried something.......to add the RMIServer.class into the Server folder.
Again, I start to run them in a DOC envirnment...
start rmiregistry........(run successful and another rmiregistry DOC window created)
java RMIServer.........The server is instantiated(run successful and print out a String)
Um...is the RMI have to run with a RMIServer.class file? But the RMI notes I refered from is not seems to be telling me to do this, are there any one can give me a helping hand?

please, go here, read thoroughly

Right Mouse "Open With Adobe Reader X" on .xfdf file

If I right mouse click on a .xfdf file and choose "Open with Adobe Reader" it then opens the correlating .pdf (sometimes I have to browse to it) but the pdf is displayed with fields filled in with values found in the .xfdf file.
However, after upgrading to Adobe Reader X the data fields are no longer filled in.
What changed?

Even when I disable protected mode, I see it doesn't fill the form fields.
steve042966 , Can you try this once?
1. Go to Edit -> Preferences.
2. Uncheck 'Enable Protected mode at startup'.
Close all Reader instances.
Try opening xfdf file again and see if it fills form fields now.
